Running a bokeh server with Binder
This repository demonstrates how to run a Bokeh server from within Binder. To do so, we did the following things:
-
Created a
bokeh-app
directory in the repo with amain.py
file in it. This is the application that will be served. We've added the Bokeh weather example as a demo. -
Installed
bokeh
for the viz andjupyter_server_proxy
which we'll use to direct people to the port on which Bokeh runs. Seeenvironment.yml
. -
Added a custom server extension (
bokehserverextension.py
) that will be run to direct people to the Bokeh app (which is run on a port) -
Used
postBuild
to enable thejupyter_server_proxy
extension, then set up and enable our custom server extension for Bokeh. -
Created a Binder link that uses
urlpath
to point users to the port on which the Bokeh server will run:https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/binder-examples/bokeh/master?urlpath=/proxy/5006/bokeh-app
When people click on the Binder link, they should be directed to the running Bokeh app.
